Enjoy this short music video teaser of our 24 hours in Unalakleet, Alaska. A Lot More To Come! This barely scratches the surface of what we got. As yo can see we enjoyed our selves and now the editing begins. Again thank you for all of your support. We couldn’t have done it with out it. Quyana.
Here’s Phillip ducking down saying hi to supporters as Ossie stands on a pressure ridge (ice berg) being filmed in silhouette for the Bubble Gum music video. Check out the 30sec teaser by Electric Igloo and you’ll see a glimpse of the silhouette shot were talking about.
Pamyua reached their goal thanks to all of your support and particularly those who pledged money and became backers on at Kickstarter.com, as well as those that pledged support by mailing in donations. Quyana.
Pamyua will be working with Electric Igloo production company to edit the music video. We are looking forward to reviewing all of the footage and reliving the fun weekend in Unalakleet. Thank you to all of you who we met and worked with while up north. Quyana, Quyana, Quyana Everyone!

Pamyua has an amazing opportunity to shoot a music video in rural Alaska. Join the production and become a backer.
We are doing a concert in Unalakleet, Alaska and want to bring a professional film crew with us to spend an extra day filming a music video. To sweeten the deal, we have a friend in Unalakleet with a small commuter plane who has agreed to fly us around to get epic landscape shots, standing on an arctic mountain ridge, or something like that. We are very excited because we’ve never done anything like this before.
The song we’re singing in the music video is called Bubble Gum and is written by Pamyua co-founder Ossie. Bubble Gum is on our upcoming double album titled SideA/SideB.
Bubble Gum is sung in the Yup’ik language from Alaska and is inspired by traditional Inuit drum-dancing. This particular drumsong shows the importance of teasing in Inuit culture. The inspiration for this song was a student chewing gum in Ossie’s dance class. During the long cold winters dancing and drumsongs filled the silence, and humor was added to lighten everyone’s spirit.
Here’s a 1-minute short video to introduce PAMYUA to the world. We had a fun time shooting it in our Anchorage studio. Photographer and friend Kerry Tasker came in and filmed all of the white screen shots. The “live” footage is from a music video shoot we did over a year ago at the Snowgoose Theater also in Anchorage, which that music video (Where’s My Drum) is being edited by a friend in LA (keep posted for that). There’s also a short clip from the Free Tibet Concert – “A Big Dream” put on by dear friends Karma and Paola. Anchorage filmmaker and new friend Zak Melms recently edited our “Hi We’re PAMYUA” video and here it is.
Zak is with the film company Electric Igloo – these guys and girls are legit. Thank you to all of our friends and fans that helped us get our first promo video out. We’re working on a lot of projects and will be getting a bunch more things out to you. This is so much fun collaborating and creating new works. We hope you enjoy!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Teddy and Mary Ann Sundown’s family. Mary Ann and Teddy taught us everything. They fully lived their lives respecting our way of happiness. Their passion for sharing Yup’ik knowledge transformed the pride of us all. Every song and move that they shared were prayers for us the next generation. Quyanarpiitli for sharing your beloved parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great-grandpartents with all of us. We love you!
